I've been saying that in response to your posts, Finn. What part of 'she slapped a teacher' did you NOT understand?

Apparently, some people are defensive because their children lack or lacked impulse control, because none of what this girl did is normal or typical or something that other teens think of but don't engage in, or any of the other things being posted.

Two and three year olds lack impulse control. Any older and there are other issues at play.

Yes, we’re attacked everywhere and can’t even go out to dinner without being harassed and attacked.

Yes agree. It seems many here support this girls actions and are trying to make excuses for it. What’s funny is Trumps been in office for a while so this isn’t new. Why grab the hat at all ? She’s enraged still and can’t control herself.

I don't know ANYONE who feels like that. That's just weird.

We don't have the violent leftists or antifa types causing trouble here in NJ, thank goodness.
You’ve been lucky then as they’re everywhere. Guaranteed if your community was having a conservative speaker or event leftist and antifa would rip your whole town apart to make sure that event was canceled and the venue closed down.

She's enraged because her parent is teaching her to be.

?Why not? People announce their interests on their Facebook profiles.

Why do people have Hillary bumperstickers? Or Obama ones? Or any other name-your-politician paraphernalia? Some people who like Trump happen to like ball caps?

That unhinged HS student went WAY over the line over what, a hat? She doesn't seem at all contrite, quite the contrary. Then there's her mealy-mouthed father. Whole lot o' crazy going on there.

You're trying too hard to make excuses and minimize her horrendous behavior and most of the posters aren't buying what you're selling.

Since Trump's election I believe we have seen a rise of violence and unwarranted verbal abuse by people, to complete strangers, who didn't get their way.

Look at all of the antifa violence and mayhem. They're the progressive's Brownshirts.

That older couple who got kicked off the plane, as one example, where the wife couldn't just keep her mouth shut and started berating another passenger. Check out her hapless husband. Poor schm**k.

I feel the same way about adults wearing Crocs or women's pants that say "Juicy" across the rump.

Never occurred to me to harangue or even berate somebody over it much less go apesh*t crazy like that young woman did.

I guess lefties want Trump supporters to be in the closet. Maybe it would be better if they knew who the enemy was. I recall after the election, a TDS addled woman saying she was scared because she didn't know who around her might be one of "them", causing her great anxiety and distress.

You can't have it both ways, it is simply a fact that enough Americans supported Trump such that he won the election, and whether they wear red hats or not, they are here.
